Café · Oxford
Tucked into Oxford's Covered Market a few steps in from Carfax, this is a small family-run café with black-and-white décor and a compact footprint — fine with a buggy through the market, though it's snug enough inside that you'll want to fold down at busy times. Breakfast is the draw and the value is genuinely good: a full English or eggs on toast comes with a tea or filter coffee thrown in, and two people can eat for around £17. Portions are big, food usually lands fast — helpful when someone's patience is running out — and the spanakopita gets particular praise. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and a few outdoor tables. Standards can wobble on a bad day, with the odd lukewarm plate, so it suits a quick, cheerful bite more than a lingering one.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
